In my firm we are using Reciprocating Vacuum compressor by Ingersoll Rand.The problem we are facing is the continuous repair due to the failure of our brass bushing in connecting rod.From net surfing i came across some alternatives like SAE 863 bronze,C954 Aluminium Bronze and Ampco18 Bronze,in this which one will be preferable or is there any other material is there.Also in crank shaft we are using Stainless steel bushing.Is it require any change.Which oil will be preferable.

Rock,
I was starting to answer your question then I noticed your last line and deleted my response. Good luck with that whole "Give me free consulting ASAP" thing.

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings if it happened due to my query i think its because of my wrong way of expressing the subject.I didn't mean anything like that.sorry for the trouble.

RE: Reciprocating Vacuum compressor

Didn't hurt my feelings. I just choose to ignore deadlines that I'm not being paid to adhere to.
